  2. Except, that people won't mind a slightly heavier phone if means they can get a couple of hours more with their phones. When Apple talks about improved performance, improved camera, improved design, why stagnate with the same battery life? Can't they improve that too?

  3. Apple did the same with the current gen MacBook Pro too. The 10th Gen Intel chips were more efficient so it didn't impact battery life at all, while bringing down the weight of the device. I see no big deal here if they can offer the same or better battery life than the iPhone 11 Pro.

  5. Regardless of Apple's true motive, this move will greatly reduce useless e-waste and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and the added weight during shipment. Think about the impact that the billions of useless 5W chargers that Apple has shipped have had on the environment in the last 13 years.

    Doesn’t really matter if a company can’t decide which size to use, AMD have already won the race

    I am happy that the game is launching soon but am underwhelmed by the number/type of aircrafts and airports in the standard edition.

  11. Apple announces more money for Californian housing crisis

    It's nice and all and maybe this is the best apple could do but it will not change the inevitable which is collapsing of Silicon Valley with its ridiculously expensive housing issue, but with even 10 times this much money or any amount frankly this can't be fixed. this is because of California and Local city corruption that they like to keep prices up to protect their investments. Solution to this problem is simple. Cut or remove the state taxes and balance the budget like Texas is doing fantastically well, remove nonsense regulation for building new houses and buildings and be pro-business in general

  16. T-Mobile announces its next Un-carrier event

    Really? They came up with all these ways to make their plans so competitive with other carriers but in order to get all the new "cool" stuff you have to switch to the newest plan which are now really expensive and then you always lose something from your old plan. It's complete crap and don't get me started on those Tuesday deals lol.

  17. See my comment above at least about airports. As for airplanes, those are a little bit more craft-centric, and probably deserve some TLC to create compared to airports.

  18. From the FAQ: Q: What airports come fully hand-crafted for each edition? A: The following is a list of customized, hand-crafted airports that come with each edition below. There will be over 37,000 airports in the sim. It's not that you don't have airports, you don't have "hand crafted" airports. Not sure how much better they are, but I'm sure it'd be moderately better than the generic? I know that my local airport isn't hand-crafted and it looks really similar to reality already.

  19. How is thunderbolt 3 relevant here? You just need USB-C with DisplayPort alt mode. They list several devices without thunderbolt 3 ports, e.g., Surface Book 2. Do not buy; the product description contradicts itself in several places.

  22. 300W Power Supply Question

    Yea, all the yellows are carrying your 12V. I don't really see a problem with what you're trying to do at long as you're not exceeding the Amps. I think (and could be wrong) the wires coming out of the PSU are 20 gauge...which is ~10A rated (not factoring length of wire...the Amp rating will drop as wire gets longer). No idea what a "model railway" would require. tl;dr yea, they are carrying 12V but don't exceed overall amps of PSU or the individual wires.

  28. Can an ISP suspend service to you if they receive a DMCA notice?

    I believe in the UK that downloading isn't illegal, sharing that material is illegal though as you re now the distributer. Torrents by nature are redistribution software so they can go after you for using it. If the government ever made it illegal to download then they would have to arrest so many of their own family members as its the norm for most people.

  29. Can an ISP suspend service to you if they receive a DMCA notice?

    when I worked for a small business ISP I was in charge of sending out the notices and suspending connection was common practice in extreme circumstances. The onus is on the provider to take action. I would give them a 3 strike rule.

  31. So out of curiosity - why? That laptop is from what cira 2013ish? Wouldn't it be better to take any money that it would cost to replace the screen.. Plus time and effort and just get something current? It would be one thing if it was only a couple years old (out of warranty)... But a 7 year, I just don't see how putting any money into it is cost effective..

When Apple talks about improved performance, improved camera, improved design, why stagnate with the same battery life? Can't they improve that too? They want to sell you iPhone 13 with improved battery next year. I replaced my dying 2716 mAh original iPhone X battery with 3500 mAh Chinese high capacity battery. Been enjoying tremendous battery life since 2 years. It also cost me half of Apple Original battery price and came with screwdrivers, suction cup and waterproofing sticker. I just used a $6 heatgun and installed the new battery myself.

  35. OPPO teases 120W fast wired charging tech for its smartphones

    I'm not sure, in the latest revision of the USB Type-C it is stated under USB-PD that the current is configurable up to 5A (which at 20v would make the 100W), so connectors have to be able to withstand such a current flow. For me the question is, are they able to withstand more? If so, how much more? If they're making their own power delivery specification using the USB Type-C connector, and it can take more than 5A, it would be possible to reach 120W. As long as their phones are compatible with the USB-PD as well, I'm happy to see new developments.

  36. from one user on Microsoft's TechNet web portal for IT professionals that has been confirmed to work. As he explains, all it takes for the update to successfully finalize is to disconnect the affected computer from the Internet after downloading the update ISO/verifying the update and running the update while offline.

    They have to think of something a bit different in order for it to sell. Next years selling point will be 360 sound, then the 2022 model will be "enhanced targetted audio", then 2023 "enhanced directional audio" and so on.

  42. Never be ashamed of saying "all I could afford" because you're probably smarter and in a better position financially than those who spend more than they can afford. This applies to cars, graphics cards, houses and laptops. The person with a $35k car loan looks rich, but most likely will forever be in debt, when a $5k car bought from savings or a much smaller car loan would have served the same purpose and still get them from A to B! Plus with the global economy in a downward spiral, spending frugally is what we all should be doing. Spend what you have. Save what you need. But have a bit of fun in the process!

  46. Worldwide PC shipments grew in Q2, 2020 despite coronavirus

    I used some of the stimulus money to purchase a new video card at first, then was running too hot in old PC case, so decided to first try for new PC case, and wait on major upgrade. But after shop informed me your old motherboards input/output shield not transferrable. I then decided to go for a newer board/cpu combo, as rest of components was compatible like Memory and all, so didn't cost me too much to score a newer case, newer motherboard, and newer cpu ((Intel I7 10700, Gigabyte B460M-DS3H, Thermaltake V200 RGB Case) and the video card was Geforce 1660 Super, ((all could afford right now)
